Do any of the DEI hires know that the pressure differential on the leak will be higher in space that it is on earth meaning the leak may exceed their 100x ‘safe’ allowance?

I was just thinking that. Yeah, it’s a little cold, but the O-rings will probably hold and we REALLY need to get that teacher launched.

On clear days if the trajectory it right I can see Cape Canaveral space shots from my front yard.
I’m gonna make it a point to look for this one.

He was a genuine SOB, but Admiral Rickover would have chewed Boeing a new one over this...and the leak would be fixed.

This is what in the classic days of NASA would be deemed a "no-go for launch."
Gene Kranz would never allow this to fly

Imagine Boeing trying to develop the Starlink satellite network. It would cost trillion$ and be scheduled for commercial launch sometime after California finishes its high speed rail network.

Is Boeing trying to put itself out of business?

Gene Kranz would never allow this to fly SpaceX would not allow this to fly. I've seen Falcon9 launches scrubbed over malfunctioning valves at T-3 (or so). They fix the valve and launch a few days later.
Because they're not stupid.

Why do people post without reading the article?
To: TexasGator
I read the article.
“Starliner” reminds me of a 1979 Buick my Dad once owned. Poor design, shoddy workmanship ...
